Simone Manfrini

One of the festival’s silent rules is to avoidhostingthe sameartists repeatedly.

We are hosting Simone Manfrini’s artwork for the third timein the upcoming editionbecause he is young, because he’s good and because every year he presents us with a new and increasingly powerful project.

After all, we don’t care about rules.

Simone Manfrini (Ancona, 26 September 1990).

I’ve always drawn for as long as I can remember. As achild I doodledall overthe wall of my home’s balcony… I was a writer!

Now I draw on paper, but very little has changed.The intention has remainedthe same: making magic, creating ideas of matter with other matter.

In 2006 I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata withmy comic book-final dissertation “Brecce Bianche”.

I am currently teaching at the Podesti Calzecchi Onesti Institute in Chiaravalle and I keep drawing!
